I sat through 3 rounds of scrimmages yesterday. Definitely saw some good things, some bad things, and some things that made you shake your d@mn head.

ATOR 10am

Owasso Red- will def. be a solid team. Didn't see what I expect from them, but it's early and the kids are still trying to feel out the coaches and vice versa. Still expect a lot from this team, but they might go down a little on my "Top 10" list.
Catoosa- I think the entire line is taller than Strat. I realize that's not say much, but mark my words this team will be in the playoffs.
Sand Springs- Biggest thing that stood out is passing game. Kid can throw, and they have some boys that will catch the ball. Will have to play some cut throat football in their Div. to make it in the playoffs.
Bartlesville Blue - It's early I know, but still a lot of work to be done. Should have a winning season in Div 3, but will it be enough for a playoff spot?
Lincoln Christian Black - Little guys with lots of speed. They can take a hit and pop up. Better get your lineman ready of they don't get hands on them quick, these guys will fly around a hit yah.
Bixby Red- I swear that coach is probably the biggest @ssho!e out there, and if he gets onto my kid one more time.......................   

ATOR 6pm

Jenks White- I'm gonna finish the rest of the teams in this group then come back and finish this because I need to bite my tounge.
BA Black- The coach wasn't to happy after scrimmages I don't think. I definitely think they have a lot of talent and didn't show much of what they had. Sold team that still has a lot more gas in the tank.
Claremore Black - If I remember right this team started strong last year then struggled late in the season. It took them awhile to get started last night, but they do have a lot of potential to be a strong team. Definitely got better as the night went on.
Bixby Platinum- Keep workin hard. I expect to see you in the playoffs.
Jenks Maroon- (I think) Have a shifty little runner. Don't remember a lot about this team.
Glenpool- I want to remind everyone this team is AA (cough, cough Jenks White) not to belittle this team but because these kids truly gave everything they had last night. These kids took some BIG shots, they gave some BIG shots that left kids down and sent them out for a play or two. I don't think there is an ounce of quit in this team. Keep working hard guys, regroup this year and you will be just fine.
..........Now back to Jenks White- Don't let me mislead anyone. This is a team "stacked" with good athletes. However, last night I was a little thrown off. First scrimmage they were on Defense against Glenpool, and man did they start BIG. Huge hits, huge sacks, even bigger celebrations every single play. As a coach, I realize when it's time to take a step back and put in my second string, because even though we all need the practice, there's a time and a place and this round of the scrimmage wasn't it. I think it stood out the most because I NEVER saw the same hype for the rest of the night. Offensively, not as strong and that was the damper for this team. Everyone knows the saying, "Don't peak too early" and last night was the perfect visual of that. With my rant over, I still say one of the better teams in the league and will continue to be for some years, good kids, good coaches, but can you maintain the hype when it matters most?

ATOR 8pm

Bixby Blue- Same good kids plus a lot more. One of the toughest schedules in the league no doubt, but these Blue Spartans will find a way!
Owasso White- Is that you my old BA Silver nemesis?? This team was better than I expect with all the moving of teams. This Owasso team may be smaller than Red but if they play each other it's a dog fight for best in the city.
Jenks Silver- Saw some moments of good things from this team. Just workin out the kinks early in season. Don't remember if they are new or were a team last year, but they will win some games.
Union Black- not as great of a showing this week as you had last week. Late game may have been the factor not sure or if the big guy on the sidelines in a cast had something to do with it. Hate seeing kids get hurt early in season.
Sapaulpa Blue- don't remember a ton because we left early, but not too shabby on defense.
Union ??- had a quick little running back. Decent team.

Lots of scouting going on. It's good to see everyone. Hope everyone has a great season with no injuries!! Good luck to all.

So basically, Jenks White was bullying the an AA team?

Ilovefootball, bullying in football takes on a different meaning than its social meaning to me. Think of it more as picking on the little guys. As far as going have ass. No i wouldn't  instruct my team to go half ass in a regular season contest. But in a scrimmage where clearly I have the dominate team. I would call of the dogs. Thats just me. In a game, then I think it is what it is. But a scrimmage against a AA team thats just picking on the little guys.

Yes, actually we did!!!

Raider Nation- I thought you were saying something different my apologies. I don't really think they were picking on the little guys and did call off the dogs. I saw them sub in players and also tell their boys to not talk and just play. I have been around football a long time, have helped with football camps, coached at different schools and what I saw was boys playing the game of football. Plus coaches trying to coach those boys up. I loved what I saw and think most of the top teams at any level play like Jenks White did against Glenpool. Anyways good luck to everyone and can't wait to watch a lot of teams this year!

@ Nation quit it , lol. #7 broke on your number one D to about the 10, and from then on they couldn't get a snap off. Who tells their players stuff like that? "Don't go full speed" 😂😂😂😂. If they do they are setting them up to fail.

Come on Raider Nation you know what Insidescoop and I are both saying. You just like to play down things when it comes to your team. A few coaches on here like to do that lol.

Sorry I haven't responded just woke up for the day.

I don't care at what level you've played, how long you've coached, where you have done either of those things there's always a time and a place. Would I ask my kids to go 75% or 50%? Absolutely not. They don't comprehend that concept quite yet. However, I was watching and they didn't rotate their players all that much. 44 was in almost every play. 1 I think is the other play maker was in the almost the entire time as well. The one point I do agree with you is that this should have never been a scrimmage set up. Period. Jenks White is a very good team, with a great coaching staff, I've never said anything other than that. This scrimmage did absolutely nothing for either team.
